Unknown Name, Emoticons, Mermaids,

I wish something could be done about these unknown name callers, we have been getting so many lately. Thursday afternoon I had been feeling under the weather, (bowled really badly too but being unwell was my excuse) came home and decided to take a nap. Had trouble dropping off and finally did so only to get a bloody phone call from Unknown Name. Grrrr. Once in a while I answer them if they are from the local calling area because our cleaning lady comes through as an unknown name, but usually I don’t. This morning I did and it was a call from our Prime Minister. Recorded of course!! No, I didn’t listen.

A friend used this emoticon on an email message yesterday, I thought it was so cute I simply had to copy it. You’ll gather we were talking fencing or was it pistols at Dawn? I rarely use emoticons as I can never remember how to do so, or what you type for what and I keep losing the list I have.

I heard an ad on the radio for a Christmas performance of The Little Mermaid at a local theatre. How on earth do you do mermaids on a stage?

My blog has the title “A scent of Chocolate” so it’s about time we had a chocolate recipe. This one certainly fills the bill. Makes me drool.

I get those calls ALL THE TIME! It's annoying as sin and I haven't figured out how to block those kinds of calls. I don't even think it's possible with unknown or restricted callers.

I like that you love the little emoticons. Hahaha! It was muskets at dawn but I didn't have any emoticons with muskets, so I had to improvise. If you put your email in 'text' instead of html, I believe it will show you the symbols you need to create the emoticon. I'm not sure.

Thank you, thank you for the brownie recipe. My name is Eva....and I am a chocoholic. Xoxoxo.

I, too, get tons of those calls. Only on my landline though, which I only have b/c it's cheaper to bundle a landline w/ internet & cable TV than just have internet/cable. Drives me crazy. That dueling emoticon is adorable! And the recipe looks amazing....it's so unfair that I have chocolate allergy issues. I can do milk chocolate and semi sweet.

I refuse to answer unknown calls unless I'm expecting a specific call. We have a register here you can add your number to which is a 'do not call' register for advertising/promotional calls. Some still slip through though.
